You probably need someone stronger to help mine were a bugger to get off needed a long bar over the alan key for leverage.

Just watch the allen key though, mine nearly bent when I was getting the allen bolts out of the engine to take the casing off. Bloody threadlocked bolts Rolling Eyes

You could try giving the end of the bolt a sharp (but with some feeling) tap with a hammer- make sure that you hit it square on though. Alternatively try sharply tightening the bolt a tad, and then undoing it. A long bar over your allen key will do it too, but may mash the allen pattern in the bolt if you're not careful. Thumbs Up
